Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Lamp
Have you ever laid eyes on a recycled product that you could actually call handsome? We think these are …
These handsome lamps are made from retired components from up to three different vintage motorcycles, constructed using a spring, shock absorber, brake rotor and transmission gear — all welded together to add a bit of quirky moto flair to any room.
“There’s no telling what adventures this lamp had in its previous life. But now it can live on as a gift for your favorite moto enthusiast — or yourself.”
To check out some of the bikes that inspired these lamps, explore Classified Moto.
Hubcap Creatures
We discovered something quite special over on UpcycledWorld‘s facebook page. Critters made entirely from recycled materials; hubcaps found, usually on the side of the road, therefore still bear scars of their previous lives.
These remarkably detailed Hubcap creatures, are made by UK artist Ptolemy Elrington

Eco Speakers
A chic, ingenious way to recycle cardboard
Tau Speakers are made from recycled materials; almost entirely of corrugated cardboard. Andrej Cverha of HANGAR DESIGN FORGE stacked layers of corrugated paper for them to take organic shapes before smoothing them over with a white glaze and an epoxy finish. Each elegant transmitter is poised atop a set of sticks that encases unsightly cords, making Tau Speakers strike a graceful harmony in space, sound and nature. Ultimately, the Tau Speakers are a great addition to the plethora of eco-chic products released this year.
